Flat Rubber Cable for machine tools, conveyor plants and large-scale equipment

Flat Rubber Cable for Machine Tools & Conveyor Plants — Industrial Flexible Flat Cable

This specialist flat rubber cable is optimised for the power and control wiring of machine tools, conveyor systems, and automated production lines where oil exposure, continuous flexing, and compact routing are everyday requirements. The flat construction allows neat installation in cable carriers and cable chains without the bulkiness of round cable bundles.

Manufactured with fine-wire stranded copper conductors, oil-resistant rubber or EPDM insulation, and a robust flat neoprene outer sheath, these cables withstand the cutting fluids, lubricants, and mechanical stresses typical in machining environments. Rated 300/500V or 450/750V; 2 to 12 cores; 0.75 mm² to 10 mm².

Key Design Features

• Fine-wire stranded copper conductors — excellent flexibility in the bending plane
• Oil-resistant rubber / EPDM insulation per IEC 60245
• Flat neoprene or chloroprene outer sheath — resistant to cutting oils and coolants
• Rated 300/500V or 450/750V; temperature ‑40°C to +80°C
• Tested to high cycle flexing requirements (20 million+ cycles for cable chain use)
• 2 to 12 cores; 0.75 mm² to 10 mm²
• Optional shielded signal cores for combined power/control cables

Typical Applications

• CNC machine tool axis power and control wiring
• Conveyor belt drive and control cable routing
• Packaging machine power and sensor wiring
• Robotic arm cable carrier installations
• Printing press and paper handling machinery wiring
• Overhead crane festoon systems in machining halls

Selection Guide

Oil Resistance is Critical in Machine Tool Environments

Standard PVC flat cables degrade rapidly when exposed to cutting oils and coolants. Our rubber flat cables are specifically compounded to resist the full spectrum of mineral-based and synthetic cutting fluids, extending service life dramatically in machining environments.
